Latest HPIO addiction policy scorecard focuses on children, youth, families

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio has released the fourth in a series of scorecards analyzing Ohio's policy response to the addiction crisis and outlining areas where the state could be more effective.

The report, "Ohio Addiction Policy Scorecard: Children, Youth and Families," provides policymakers and other stakeholders with the information needed to take stock of Ohio's policy response to the crisis by reviewing state-level policy changes enacted in Ohio from 2013 to 2019. 

In conjunction with the release of the latest scorecard, HPIO has created a two-page fact sheet featuring excerpts from the report titled “Changes on the Horizon: Hopeful Trends.” A second fact sheet outlines three federal child welfare laws that were enacted or amended from 2016 to 2018.
